    Panhead aircleaner ?

    Trying to figure year useage. 4 bolt pattern backing plate w/flat (no lettering) cleaner cover. Did it have the standard cross piece accross the front of backing plate to screw in the front cover.
    Thanx in advance,

        How about a picture? Your description is not telling much about it.

          There were only 2 types of of Panhead air filters, the J slot and the -56 center screw type. The -56 type used a 4 screw mounting bracket that bolted to the face of the carb to mount the cover.

            VPH-D,
            The cover he describes as no lettering, which points to some other type. He also says flat, which is a little confusing as the covers are convex. And the cover bracket is held on with 2 screws, not 4 as the backing plate is. Like I said, a picture would help. The flattest cover I am aware of is on an Indian.

                Quite possibly it is a Servi-car cover on a Panhead backing plate.

                  That backing plate never came on a panhead. This fits a side bowl DC linkert. Came on 66 Fl's, several years sportsters and servicars. Not sure what years on sportys or servis,,, but in the mid 60's.

                      Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anyone said it came on a panhead. The title of this thread is "Panhead aircleaner ?". I simply meant to say it is not a panhead aircleaner.

                        Yup, never thought of a DC, has the 4 bolt holes. The cover looks just like all of the stock Pan covers(rounded front) just doesn't have any lettering. DC Cover , Also ??

                          The backing plate can't be D-C if it has four holes, they are all three. But the plain cover could be!

                            Oops, I just remembered something relevent to this topic. The -56 cover was available at least in to the late 70s, however it was blank, no MOCO stamping. I ordered one at the time and was disappointed when it showed with no lettering.
